Lagrange point between earth and moon is because the mass of the earth is much larger than the moon, so Lagrange point is only less than 70,000 kilometers from the moon, but it is more than 300,000 kilometers from the area.
This is basically the same as building a space factory in the outer space of the moon. Fortunately, let ’s not talk about the outer space of the moon. Millions of people live and work on the moon, and there are many round trips between the earth and the moon. Flights are very convenient.
The spacecraft of Xinghe Science and Technology Group is like a straight line in the void, and in space, it uses the power of rocket thrust to accelerate.
He dragged the long tail flames one by one and advanced towards the moon at a speed of tens of kilometers per second.
In the dark sky, such a large number of anti-gravity spacecrafts acted simultaneously, forming an extremely beautiful landscape. Looking from a distance, it looks like a huge group of fireflies, and it seems to be from the depths of Xinghe The huge space fleet is average and imposing.
After a full 3-hour voyage, the team led by Wu Renjie arrived at the intended location. All anti-gravity spacecraft landed directly above the moon, then took off from the moon, and flew back to reach the scheduled Lag. Longue point.
There is no way. The speed of the spacecraft is too fast. It takes too long to decelerate in space. It is better to fly directly to the moon, rely on the strong gravity of the moon, and then use the anti-gravity engine to slow down more quickly and safely.
起飞 Taking off from the moon again, the speed of the spacecraft is very slow, and the distance of less than 70,000 kilometers is simply a negligible distance for the spacecraft.
"Confirm Lagrangian and start working ~"
Around Wu Renjie, scientists from the Institute of Cosmic Astronomy of the Xinghe Institute of Science and Technology used a number of positioning satellites distributed between the earth and the moon, and then used a computer to easily and accurately calculate the location.
"Go ahead ~"
Soon, an order came from the Earth Control Center. The ground control command center apparently calculated that they had arrived at the predetermined location and ordered the construction of the space factory.
"Action ~"
Wu Wurenjie nodded and issued an order.
With his order, in space, more than 300 anti-gravity spacecraft began to approach each other continuously according to their respective numbers, some were more than a dozen ships, and some were two or three.
These ships approached each other, and the hatches opened slowly, revealing a huge belly. Inside the spacecraft, they were filled with large and small space factory parts, and they wore space suits and were busy. astronaut.
On top of each spaceship, long robotic arms began to stretch out continuously. These high-tech mechanical arms from the ink claw machinery technology are the most powerful tools for astronauts in space.
The spacecraft is getting closer and closer, and the robot arms on the spacecraft begin to continuously connect with each other. Soon, the spaceships adjacent to each other are fixed together by these robot arms.
More robotic arms are continuously extended, and inside the spacecraft's huge belly, there are also robotic arms, pulleys, etc., which start to move the space factory parts inside.
No. 001 spaceship where Wu Renjie is located. Here, Wu Renjie in a space suit is tied with a rope, and the whole man slowly grabs a mechanical arm into space.
"1st component ~"
Soon, when Wu Renjie came to the middle point of several spacecraft, he didn't waste time. There are matching virtual machines in the space suit, which can clearly transmit the information of components, order, spacecraft, etc. that require components. In the end, all they need to do is follow the procedures set by scientists and engineers.
Soon, the mechanical arm slowly pulled out a house-sized component above the anti-gravity spacecraft number 002 next to it.
组件 This component is the core of the future of the space factory. It is similar to the existence of a heart. It is a cube. It has the same length, width, and height, more than ten meters in length, and each has a carefully set connection port.
It is just such a core component. It costs hundreds of billions of dollars to manufacture it. The material used is more expensive than gold, because although there is no gravity in space, it must bear the entire space factory. Huge quality.
But because the space factory is assembled from countless parts, there will be some other forces between them, such as torsion and so on. As the core, these forces may eventually come into play. It must be sufficient. Be strong.
The core components were slowly carried to the center point of the spaceships by many robotic arms. This point is also the most stable Lagrange point between the earth and the moon.
"The direction is wrong, the first face must be aligned with the direction of the earth."
In Wu Minjie's mind, using powerful virtual machine technology, the information monitored by various monitoring instruments around it will be transmitted, and at the same time correspond to everything that is simulated and assembled in the quantum computer. Anything that is wrong needs to be adjusted.
Because even the smallest mistakes will be fatal in the end.
This is why in the previous aerospace engineering, the reliability of all parts and so on has reached 99.999%, and some have even reached several places behind the decimal point.
科学家 But scientists and engineers are very nervous about each space mission, because a rocket and a satellite have too many parts, even if the reliability of each part is very, very high.
But as long as there are a few flaws or errors, many parts and so on are extremely terrible, and an accident will be a major event and the loss will be extremely heavy.
Even though it was the former Uncle Sam, he had to abandon the use of the space shuttle after several major accidents in the use of the shuttle. The after-effects were so serious that even Uncle Sam could not bear it.
The core components started to adjust slowly with the help of a robotic arm, and soon adjusted in place.
With the anti-gravity spacecraft, it is much safer in space. With the combination of robotic arms and mind technology, work in space is also easier.
"No. 2, 3 components ~"
Xu Wurenjie quickly issued an order again.
Soon, from the surrounding spacecraft, new components were pulled by the robotic arm. Fortunately, the anti-gravity spacecraft is large enough and the internal space is large enough, so each component is the same size and fine as a small building. The small parts, small parts, etc. are already installed when they are on the ground.
If it is just like a few years ago, just relying on rockets to travel to and from space, let alone a space factory, a small international space station needs many of the most powerful countries on the planet to operate together.
This is the gap between the times and the technology.
Without the anti-gravity spacecraft, the interstellar space age would not be possible at all.
组件 The 2nd and 3rd components were slowly moved to the vicinity of the 1st component, and then under the control of the robotic arm, they were perfectly connected to the set number interface, like building blocks.
The design of each component is strictly calculated, and the accuracy requirements are also very high. When connected together, they look like one.
The entire space became very busy. The spaceships got together with each other and formed formation points. Each formation point had the same people as Wu Renjie, and they were under command.
All the work that can be done with the robotic arm is completed with the intention to control the robotic arm, but there are still many places where the astronauts have to play in person.
The work is progressing very smoothly, but the speed is not fast, because in the sky, everything except the spaceship must be careful and cautious, the slower the better.
Huangping Town, Xinghe Aerospace Industrial Base, Ground Control Command Center here.
Qin Yi looked at the huge display, and the front-line image was being transmitted back in real time on the display, which was divided into many small images.
Every small picture is an assembly point, very busy, and each robotic arm is working tirelessly.
In the void at Lagrange point, huge components are assembled, and some look like a huge and tall building, which is even larger than the anti-gravity spacecraft on the side ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But this is just a small part in the future space factory, a large part assembled from many small parts.
"Spaceship 2 flies away ~"
At this time, Wu Renjie has entered the assembled core assembly, and the entire core assembly has begun to work, with a series of robot arms extending from the core assembly.
At the same time, in the core components, compressed air began to be released, allowing Wu Renjie and others to safely take off heavy, clumsy spacesuits, float around in the core organization, and direct the formation of the entire space factory.
With his order, the fixed mechanical arms of the spacecraft began to loosen, the anti-gravity spacecraft 2 began to leave slowly, and the hatch was also closed slowly, and began to return to the direction of the earth.
This time, its mission has been completed, but the entire vast space factory project has just begun. It also needs to return to the side of the earth to transport more of it.
"Spaceship 3 flies away ~"
When the spacecraft 2 left, Wu Renjie also ordered the spacecraft 3 to leave. After the spacecraft 2 and 3 left, leaving an empty area.
In the direction of this area, another large component that has already been assembled is being pulled by the robotic arm, and it starts slowly drifting towards the core component. The next thing to do is the combination of large components.
